Ange Postecoglou was quick to make light of his Tottenham Hotspur future after telling fans to expect a more successful season next year.
The 59-year-old guided Spurs to Europa League glory midweek as his side beat Manchester United 1-0 in the final to end the club’s 17-year trophy drought.

It remains to be seen whether the Australian will remain charge of the north London outfit, who have endured a nightmare Premier League season.
Sitting 17th in the table with just one match remaining, Spurs are guaranteed to finish the term with their most defeats [21] and fewest points in a single Premier League season.
But having secured Champions League qualification as a result of their success in Europe’s second-tier competition, Postecoglou has set his sights on bigger success.
Speaking to the club’s fans during their open-top bus parade on Friday about his trophy promise, Postecoglou roared: “I told them and they laughed.
“I told them and they didn’t believe. And here we are.
“I’ll leave you with this, all the best television series, season three is better than season two.”
His comment was put to him in his pre-match press conference ahead of Sunday’s home clash against Brighton.
Asked what supporters can expect in season three, Postecoglou immediately seemed to regret his impassioned message.
He quipped: “I should have thought about it a bit more because as somebody rightly pointed out, sometimes they kill off the main character.

“I said even before the game, I really believe we’re just building something and a significant win accelerates that.
“I really believe that is the case and I am not going to put a limit on what we can achieve.
“I certainly believe it’s exciting the possibilities of next year knowing I’ve got a group of players now and staff and a club that knows how to win and wants more of it.”
Postecoglou’s future remains at Spurs remains a hot topic, with many arguing that the club’s Europa League triumph has papered over the cracks.
It isn’t a view shared by Tottenham icon Robbie Keane, who believes Postecoglou has ‘proven everybody wrong’ and deserves to keep his spot in the dugout.
Spurs are on course for their lowest Premier League finish, which stands at 15thWhen commenting on his future, Postecoglou referenced American TV show Seinfeld, where one of the main characters, George Costanza, turned up for work after he left his job.
He joked: “I haven’t given it a lot of thought.
“I refuse to be distracted by anything in terms of the opportunity that was before us, and since the game I just wanted to take the opportunity also to enjoy that as well.
“I haven’t thought about it. I assume at some point somebody will tell me something.
“If not, I’m just gonna roll up next year and be a bit like Costanza from Seinfeld.
“I’ll just sit in the desk and get on with my job.”
